The physical simulation of wave groups and their variations in a wave flume

The physical simulation method of wave groups in a wave flume is proposed and verified by the exper- iments. The experimental results demonstrate that random waves with desired wave groupiness, which simultaneously includes the wave group height and length, can be generated satisfactorily at the specified position in a wave flume using the proposed method. Furthermore, the transformation properties of the wave groupiness along the fiat-bottomed wave flume are investigated based on the physically simulated waves. Associated proposals with the physical simulation of wave groups are given.     

Scattering of elastic wave by a partially sealed cylindrical shell embedded in poroelastic medium

Scattering of an elastic wave by a cylindrical shell embedded in poroelastic medium is investigated theoretically with the assumption that the shell material is also a porous elastic medium. The porous medium is modellized via Biot's theory and the scattering by cylindrical shell is expressed by the definition of scattering matrix. The normal mode expansion technique is employed for analysing the scattering field, and the asymptotic solutions of displacements, stresses and pore pressure are derived. Two limiting cases‐scattering by a poroelastic cylinder in Biot medium and a elastic cylindrical shell in elastic medium are obtained from the general solutions. The dispersion curves of displacement amplitude at the interface of shell and medium is compared with the case of elastic shell. The scattering amplitude associated with the fast, slow and transverse waves are identified by numerical simulation. Furthermore, the influence of the poroelastic property of shell material on scattering amplitude is analysed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effect of the duration and direction of storm movement on infiltrating planar flow with full areal coverage

Using kinematic wave equations, analytical solutions are derived for flow due to a storm moving up or down an infiltrating plane and covering it completely. The storm duration is assumed in two ways. First, the plane is covered everywhere for the same duration by the storm. Second, the plane is covered in a linearly decreasing manner from the beginning of its coverage of the plane to the other end of the plane. By comparing the flow due to this storm with that due to a stationary storm of the same duration, the influence of storm duration, direction and velocity on flow hydrograph is investigated. It is found that storm movement has a pronounced effect on runoff hydrograph. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Inbank and overbank velocity conditions in an arid zone anastomosing river

Relative to those at sub‐bankfull flow, hydraulic conditions at overbank flow, whether in the channel or on the floodplain, are poorly understood. Here, velocity conditions are analysed over an unusually wide range of flows in the arid zone river of Cooper Creek with its complex system of anastomosing channels and large fluctuations in floodplain width. At‐a‐station hydraulic geometry relationships reveal sharp discontinuities in velocity at the inbank–overbank transition, the nature of the discontinuity varying with the degree of flow confinement and the level of channel–floodplain interaction. However, despite inter‐sectional differences, velocities remain modest throughout the flow range in this low‐gradient river, and the large increases in at‐a‐station discharge are principally accommodated by changes in cross‐sectional area. Velocity distribution plots suggest that within‐channel conditions during overbank flow are characterized by a central band of high velocity which penetrates far toward the bed, helping to maintain already deep cross‐sections. Floodplain resistance along Cooper Creek is concentrated at channel bank tops where vegetation density is highest, and the subsequent flow retardation is transmitted across the surface of the channels over distances as large as 50–70 m. The rough floodplain surface affects flood wave transmission, producing significant decreases in wave speeds downstream. The character of the wave‐speed–discharge relationship also changes longitudinally, from log–linear in the upper reaches to nonlinear where the floodplain broadens appreciably. The nonlinear form is similar in several respects to relationships proposed for more humid rivers, with flood wave speed reaching an intermediate maximum at about four‐fifths bankfull discharge before decreasing to a minimum at approximately Q_2·33. It does not regain the value at the intermediate maximum until the 10 year flood, by which time floodplain depths have become relatively large and broad floodways more active.

Kinematic wave solutions for pollutant transport over an infiltrating plane with finite‐period mixing and mixing zone

Kinematic wave solutions are derived for transport of a conservative non‐point‐source pollutant during a rainfall‐runoff event over an infiltrating plane for two cases: (i) finite‐period mixing and (ii) soil‐mixing zone. Rainfall is assumed to be steady, uniform and finite in duration, and it is assumed to have zero concentration of pollutants. Infiltration is assumed constant in time and space. Prior to the start of rainfall, the pollutant is distributed uniformly over the plane. In the first case, when rainfall occurs, the mixing of pollutant in the runoff water occurs in a finite period of time. In the second case, the chemical concentration is assumed to be a linearly decreasing function of rainfall intensity and overland flow. The solute concentration and discharge are found to depend on the flow characteristics as well as the solute concentration parameters. The characteristics of solute concentration and discharge graphs seem to be similar to those reported in the literature and observed in laboratory experiments.

不同粒径大理岩样声学特性的研究

基于不同粒径大理岩样进行了超声波测试,研究了浸水时间和宏观裂隙对波速的影响规律,以及岩样声学参数的离散程度。结果表明,浸水时间对岩样的纵波速度有很大的影响,但对横波速度影响甚微;宏观裂隙的存在降低了岩样的纵波速度,波幅降低程度与岩样破坏程度有关;随着岩石平均粒径的增大,岩石的声学参数先减小后增大,并非单调关系,而且动态泊松比的变化幅度明显高于其他声学参数,不能作为材料的力学参数表征岩石的变形特性。     

ESF中一种重要新波模的探讨

本文从计入离子-中性粒子碰撞频率Vin效应的等离子体二流体方程组出发,导出统一描述ESF小尺度和中小尺度区域现象的二维静电模型.对模型方程进行了详细的线性波理论分析.结果表明,晚间赤道F层可存在正能波和负能波;Vin效应的影响是否重要依赖于波数和离子梯度漂移速度u_d乘积的大小.在小尺度区域,Vin影响较小,本文模型将变成我们已提出的小尺度无碰撞模型;而在中小尺度区域,Vin效应很重要,本文模型将得到著名的Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性结果,Vin项对波的影响可以是致稳作用也可能是失稳作用,RT不稳定性波模对应于负能波分支.

本文讨论了任意N层平面分层,每层又可具有任意柱面分层的轴对称二维非均匀有耗介质结构,分析电磁波在其中的传播、散射特性.由于采用电磁场的数值模式匹配理论,径向用离散数值本征模式替代连续模,纵向则用模式匹配方法导出场递推关系的解析表达式,大大减少了数值计算量,而计算精度不变.场的数值结果可很好的再现地下电参数剖面.相应的数值分析程序可用于从感应测井到电磁波测井的计算机辅助解释.     

含气饱和度对纵波首波速度、振幅及主频影响的实验结果

虽然人们早已在声波测井中观察到天然气层的时差曲线有“周波跳跃”现象,并且,利用时差在气层增大和幅度在气层衰减的特点来勘探天然气的工作也有了报道,但含气饱和度Sg和声速V,特别是和振幅A、主频F（本文中均指纵波首波）之间究竟有什么联系,却一直是有待解决的问题。 通过对人工岩芯及井下取芯的测试,我们首次发现:1.纵波首波的振幅对气层最敏     

非均匀动压冲击和停止后产生的瞬时重联过程

在非均匀动压冲击期间和冲击突然停止,可引起等离子体边界层的局部瞬时重联过程．本文用二维可压缩ＭＨＤ数值模拟方法研究了这两个过程．结果表明：当大尺度的均匀横向流从一侧边冲击边界层时,磁力线不弯曲,也不发生磁场重联,只是边界层被推着向下游运动;当局部的非均匀动压（特别是横向剪切流）冲击边界层时,被冲击的同向磁场区磁力线逐渐弯曲,在弯曲的反磁场区,出现磁岛,然后在电流片区发生磁场重联,且逐渐形成准稳态的“反Ｋ型”重联结构;当横向剪切流冲击停止后,边界层区变为非常不稳定的系统,产生多种流体涡旋和流型,并相应地产生多种类型的磁场重联结构,直到涡旋消失变为湍动状态时,磁场拓扑才逐渐恢复到未扰动状态。我们提出,外力作用的突然停止,可能是驱动重联的一种新机制,并对这种重联过程在磁层物理中可能的应用进行了讨论．
